my support for a delaying confirmation is not directed at mr. brennan but is an unfortunate yet necessary action to get information from this administration. the white house is trying to sell, meanwhile, back on hagel, trying to sell hagel's personal story. and no one may tell that better than his brother, tom, who served alongside him in vietnam and described to nbc how they narrowly escaped death together. >> the concussion was incredible. it knocked us both down. and he was behind me and i looked back and he was flat on his back, blood all over his chest. so i went back. things come up where he's being criticized for this or that or the other thing, or we're both having problem. we look at each other and say, you know, what can they do to you? send you back to vietnam? >> that all may be true. on the importance of this response, that the number two democrat in the senate, new york's chuck schumer, gave to "the wall street journal" when asked about hagel's nomination. >> you owe the president, no matter what party you are and what party he is,

for the last four years, then with mr. don len, with mr. kerry, with mr. hagel and mr. brennan, that's a cohesive team. so now we've had two teams, a white house team and the secretary of state's team. this is now a single team. i think it's going to be focused much more on those needed challenges. >> brown: well, the team but also the particular challenges it's facing because we can talk about the domestic economy but trouble spots are there, we report on them every night. >> i think the challenge will be -- i think it is a cohesive team. i think the question is whether more in the second term than the first whether the president and the white house is willing to empower these very capable cabinet officials and let them go out and try to solve some of these problems we have and give them political backing back here at home. secondly, i think there is a real prioritization issue. i would agree with zbig. it's really the middle east, asia and the economic instrument. i think he needs to focus on that. and third i think the challenge is also relationships between issues t
